My name is George and I am 33 years old, married, two children, 8+4. I am from Romania, Europe.

I stopped eating meat more than 10 years ago and I turned vegan arround 30 moths ago. I made exceptions a few times and I eat some food that had eggs or dairy in it, mostly cookies, but only as an exception.

I kept a food journal for 1.5 years on a very good forum here and it helped me immensely. It's a standard diet forum and now I feel that I need to find a vegan comunity to further educate myself. Keeping this diary was the best thing I did for my diet and health, as it helped me rotate foods and most importanly, knowing that I will write down all food I eat is preventing me from eating all sort of bad stuff, like sugar and gluten.

I worked out twice a week for 6-7 months with a personal trainer, once in the gym, once yoga. Mainly body weight exercises and small (2-4kg) weights. 2-3 months ago my pt left the country and I stopped going to the gym. I continue however to workout at home, once a week, a lot less intense unfortunately. I plan on going back to a gym an workout once a week there and once a week at home. Before meeting my ex personal trainer, I never worked out in my life, never was attacted to sports. Now I am atracted to looking good and being healthy.

Thu, 31 OCT 2013 Coming after a 24h water fast (more like 36, last meal was on Tu evening)

In total today I had 1kg of apples and 1kg of pears. I managed a fully raw day, I try this after a fast day. I also managed it because I knew I was going to write here I would put imageshack hyperlinks to some meals, as I take a lot of photos, but I dont know how yet.

I appreciate and welcome all comments. Thank you!

Thank you Dylan for the welcome. I eat a lot of fruit, but I am not almost a fruitarian, as you will see soon, I also eat cooked food as well. I think I will go 100% raw in one or two years maximum, when I will be able to grow in the garden all the fruit and green leaves I want.I am ashamed to admit that I dont know Andrei Codrescu, but I will google him.

M1 07:00 - rolled oats porridge, water, 1/2 frozen banana (use them to sweeten foods), 2TBSP hemp protein, 1TBSP mesquite, 1TBSP maca. Then, some rolled oats with honey and coconut butter left from the kids, mixed with mine. Yuum.M2 09:15 - 3 applesM3 13:45 - 800g jar full of lentil pate (lentils, garlic, tahini), 6-7 green salad leaves as bread, salad: cucumber, 2 hands parceley, 1 black raddish the size of a small apple, 10 cherry tomatoes, lemon from 1 lemon. Big meal.M4 15:45 - 4 bananas, needed sugarM5 16:15 - 50g roasted salted peanuts. Not good at all, but had too much sugar and had to do something about it. I get off balance when i eat too much, like it happened now at M3.M6 17:30 - 15 walnuts soaked over nightM7 20:15 - clear soup from root parseley, root parsnitp and another one. My wife is cold and she cooked it for herself, but I had some too and it was very good. It had a lot of pepper and was very hot.M8 21:15 - big salad: one green salad head, one big hand of baby spinach, one tomato, one capsicum, one avocado, one big hand of parsely, juice from 1/2 lemon. I chewed for 30 minutes this meal, went to bed tired

The time written down is the time I finish eating.No training today.

I made some progress with the pictures, but still i would rather learn adding imageshack hyperliks because I might want to add more than 3 pics sometimes.

08:45 - 09:15 workout at home. I was craving for potatoes and I thought I should deserve it. i did 3 sets of 15 reps pushups, 3 sets of 15 something for the legs (standing, legs parallel, hands behind neck, going up and down), 3 sets for biceps using weights 4 kg then 6 kg. Something for the shoulders, triceps as well on the hard edge of the bed + weights, 3 sets. In the end I did arround 80-100 reps for abdominals.

M2 11:30 - HUGE portion of steam boiled potateos with onion and parseley, red cabbage salad with dill, a little broccoli also steam boiled and carrot garlic sauce. Honstly, I eat enough not to be hungry the rest of the day.M3 16:00 - cakes. still not hungry but visiting friends and deserts looked too good not to eat. Delicious, I will be reproducing some soon.M4 21:00 - 150-200g pretzels, in the car on the return way home. Gluten again. Addictive shit.M5 22:00 - 6 apples

I would like to find a home workout routine. Ideally 15-20 minutes each day i would preffer body weight but I also have weights up to 10kg.First thing I will check out will be the px90. If you know any, feel free to tell me about it.

I have not been writing down my meals during weekend, but I know that I ate a lot. I feel I could go without eating for two days at least. For this week, my objective is to eat 100% raw and to start the p90X training.
